In Wales, we have a word: hiraeth. It has no direct English translation, but to the Welsh it means a nostalgic longing for your homeland. It’s easy to see why Wales would evoke an untranslatable yearning, with its rich Celtic history packed with legends, a distinctive language and wild landscapes. There really is no place like Cymru.
You’ll discover market towns and contemporary cities, medieval castles and rugged coastlines, craggy peaks and the thundering roar of crowds singing “Calon Lan” (“A Pure Heart”) come rugby season. Whether you’re seeking a city break, hiking adventure or quiet coastal escape, there’s a huge variety of things to do in this small – and immensely proud – country.
